Abstract: This paper demonstrates that almost every scene in "Volpone" is organized around a "magnetic center." The magnetic center is a person or object towards which characters regularly move or consistently direct their attention. The magnetic center device not only provides a structure for Jonson's spectacle, but also tends to emblemize the scenes by formalizing them.
